Been enjoying this a bit recently and it's fun, even though I'm losing .

Dooglus, thanks for taking all the time to compile these stats and info pieces - it's quite interesting.

Guess I have a question for you though: Since I'm not doing martingale bets and just doing the normal one at a time, if I send out say, two of them one after another, is it still the random Tx "ID" that makes it win or lose? I guess it sounds like it's always better to do a single bet than try grouping anything, correct?

It's just odd that I've made a couple coins and then proceeded to lose 3, 2BTC bets in a row atleast two or three times (which chance shows should be relatively low).

Oh Loaded, who art up in Mt. Gox, hallowed be thy name! Thy dollars rain, thy will be done, on BTCUSD. Give us this day our daily 10% 30%, and forgive the bears, as we have bought their bitcoins. And lead us into quadruple digits

If you send them one after another, then they are completely independent events.

What you can do, however, is send multiple bets *at once* by clicking 'add recipient' on the satoshi client's 'send' tab. If you do that, then all your bets in that transaction get the same lucky number.

The lucky number is determined completely by just 2 things: the transaction ID of the transaction containing the bet, and the day's "secret". If you send your bets separately, they'll have completely different transaction IDs, and so their lucky numbers won't be related.

It does appear that 'luck' runs in streaks though doesn't it. I have to believe that's just an illusion though - that we focus on winning and losing streaks and ignore the win/lose sequences that are less patterned.

We can't tell what the real profit is, since there are likely to be lots of hidden (to us) expenses.

Or, potentially fictitious income.

A plan for extreme profit:(1) Create highly blockchain visible service(2) Use it yourself in high volume to create the appearance of large income(3) Raise 34500 BTC from selling shares in an IPO(4) PROFIT!

I don't have any reason to believe this to be the case here— beyond a remaining flicker of hope that so many of my fellow men are not actually stupid enough to throw away thousands of BTC on what is apparently the least entertaining gambling site ever created— but nor can I exclude that possibility from the data made available.

The opposite had occurred to me in the past, that perhaps the sudden staggering losses were the site's way of hiding their obscene profits by deliberately winning 'from themselves'. That wouldn't make any sense to do when trying to sell shares though of course.

The biggest cost of a site like this are opportunity costs for the creators. Fireduck is a skilled guy, you have to be to take my code which was designed solely with mobiles in mind and make it work on Amazon distributed storage. If you just look at server costs, maybe the site is quite profitable. If you assume he could have been working in a highly paid software engineering job or contracting, it's probably a loss maker. But of course, SD might well be more fun

I was playing today (and loosing some coins) and i noticed that my lucky number was always bigger than the last one, and when it reached some number near 64000 it started again. So i suppose that the timestamp has a lot to do with the "secret".... or maybe coincidence.

Yeah, the timestamp has nothing to do with the magic number. All that is used to make the magic number is the daily secret (which changes only once per day) and the transaction id of your bet (which doesn't contain a timestamp). So it's just coincidence.

Although it is true that your lucky number will keep going up until it goes down. Unless it stays the same.
